Wash wound with running water and mild gentle soap, no need for bandage or any covering Kindly take post exposure prophylaxis from your nearest hospital Even if your pet dog is vaccinated, please follow immunisation schedule As per my opinion, rabies immunoglobulin is not necessary. Please seek a doctors consultation in person before vaccination
Next Steps
Take anti rabies vaccine

If fully vaccinated then it's OK but tell me What was the amount of blood loss?? Because Rabies have no cure so once who get positive with rabies will be in serious for sure.  So always be on a safe side.   Connect me if needed more advice or u want to ask some questions.  Will be happy to help u.
